Our religious education activity during our 11:00 AM worship service will be our annual tie-dye for dads and other special grown-ups.

Children and youth are asked to bring a 100% cotton t-shirt or other fabric item for dyeing for their Dads or another special grown-up in their lives.  White or light colors are preferable.  They can also bring an extra garment for themselves, although we will make sure everyone gets to dye one thing before letting anyone start on second and third projects.  Other things that work well include socks, tote-bags, fabric hats, plain white bandanas, pillow cases, or any cotton item.

Our class continues this Sunday (7 June 2015) at 9:15 AM with discussions of The Good Heart:  A Buddhist Perspective on the Teachings of Jesus by the Dalai Lama.

This is our last session for this class.

This Sunday, we will read and reflect on John 20:10-18 (“The Resurrection” — Chapter 9 in The Good Heart).

In the class, we have a reading of the passage as translated for the Dalai Lama, followed by a period of silent meditation.

We then discuss our own thoughts on the reading as well as the Dalai Lama’s comments.

We still have five copies of the book available at the church for anyone who would like to read the book on your own.  They are $12.00, free, or any amount in between.

In other words, please don’t let money be an obstacle to your enjoyment of the book, and do feel free to join us for this last session of the class.

Each session stands well on its own, and you will not be “lost.”
